Editorial

The main goal of this section is sharing best practices and experience to boost your events. We could have created a checklist for a successful event quite easily, however concluding an event safe and sound and ensuring a safety trip for your attendants became the most important topic.

Terror incidents are increasing gradually. The severity of these incidents are also increasing evenly. The events are either being canceled or relocated elsewhere by the fear created and the events carried out under the influence of this fear are unproductive. This leads them to reach their goal faster. However, a correct and reliable attitude against these negative facts will avoid their success and minimize the effects of terror.

We have decided to share the topics that may be helpful for you to achieve a safer and more convenient event organization that resists these potential threats with correct precautions.
